Lahat ng Kabanata ng my mafia brother-in-law, stole my heart: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

She was pacing the hospital floor, restless and on edge, when she spotted them approaching like a pack of predators.They took their seats, barely glancing her way. Damon was the last to arrive, his voice low as he leaned in.“The shipment’s hitting the port tonight. We need to move.”“Go ahead. I’m not leaving him.”“Fine. Keep your phone on. Bella, if you’re the one who did this to him, he’ll kill you.”“Then let him kill me, Damon.”Five agonizing hours later, she was unraveling. Finally, the doctor approached her directly.“He’s in recovery. I think it went well, but we’ll know more when he wakes up.”“Thank you, doctor.” She stepped into his room for a moment, careful to follow the rules.When she walked outside, Elena’s furious expression greeted her. “Look, maybe we started off…”“You’re a whore. Oliver’s Damon’s kid, and now you’re with Lucas?”“I’m exhausted, Elena, so I’m not going to say something I’ll regret. Let’s just drop it.” She tried to walk away, but Giana grabbed h

Lucas stormed in at three a.m., still fuming, lost it before she could even speak. Fuck.“Bulldog, park the car, will you?”“On it, boss. Oh, and congrats.”He froze, turning sharply. “For what?”“The baby. Bella saw the doc today. Send you a text. She’s over the moon…”He sprinted upstairs, the room empty, her phone tossed on the bed. Checked the bathroom, nobody. “What the hell did I do?” He roared, hurling shit at the wall until his dad grabbed his arms. “Enough, son!”Damon walked in, and Lucas went at him, fists flying until the anger burned out. He collapsed on the floor. “You did this again,” he spat, pointing at him. “You…”Damon hung his head. “I pushed her…”“And you snapped pics knowing I’d lose it?” He lunged at her, and she shrieked, ducking behind Helena.“She’s pregnant, you idiot! That’s what she was trying to tell me, and you ruined it all.” He pulled out his gun. “Now you’re dead.” His dad yanked his arm up as the gun fired.“You were going to kill me, brother?”“I’l

Bella woke to an empty bed, the sound of the shower pulling her from sleep. She padded into the bathroom, steam curling around her as she slipped into the shower. No words were needed, his mouth was on hers before she could even think, his hands already moving over her skin. He turned her, his breath hot on her neck, his touch deliberate. A soft gasp escaped her as his hands found her breasts, and then he was inside her, rough and insistent. Her moans grew louder, lost in the rhythm of his movements, his grip tight, keeping her pressed against him. It was almost too much, the tension unraveling them both. When it was over, he didn’t pull away, his mouth still on her neck as he turned her to face him, holding her against his chest like he couldn’t let go. I can’t ever get enough of you, he whispered"Go back to sleep," draping a towel around her. Bella was too drained to argue. She collapsed onto the bed and was out before her head hit the pillow. The sun stabbed through the curtains,

“Do we really have to do this? Lucas, come on, I’m fine, I don’t want to dig up the past. My…” she hesitated, “brother, if I can even call him that? He hasn’t so much as glanced my way since Dad died. Lucas, are you even listening?”“Obviously,” he said, walking in with Max in his arms, kissing the kid’s cheek. “How much do I love this little guy?” he teased.“Hopefully not more than me,” Bella shot back.He laughed. “I love you more. That’s just a fact. And yes, we’re going. They’re selling the mansion.”She stomped her feet, pouting. He sighed, shaking his head. Sometimes it felt like he had two kids in his hands.The nanny took Max and left, and they headed into the bedroom. Bella pulled off her top, and Lucas was right there, his arm wrapping around her waist. “Your arm still hurt?” he asked, voice low.“No,” turning to face him. She kissed his lips, then brushed his hair back where it had fallen into his face.“Good. Then you’re mine,” scooping her up and tossing her onto the bed

"Focus, Bella. You’ve got this," he told her She steadied her aim, exhaled slowly, and squeezed the trigger. Bullseye. A triumphant scream escaped her before she threw her arms around him."Quit distracting me. I can feel you staring.""Can you, now?" he teased, his arm curling around her waist, pulling her in. His lips brushed against her in soft, deliberate kisses as she let her eyes fall shut."Lucas," pausing for a breath. "I love you. So much."He knew he didn’t deserve her, didn’t deserve her love. "You know how I feel," his lips trailing to her neck. "Words aren’t my thing.""We’ve got that meeting. Stop messing around and leaving the job half-done again.""Relax, I’ll finish it tonight. You can count on that."They pulled themselves together, looking like they’d just walked off a magazine cover, effortless and perfectly matched.Bella exhaled sharply, her resolve firm. “Lucas, no matter what, we’re figuring this out. I need to know my dad.”“Obviously,” Lucas replied without h
